Male Breast Reduction in Delhi, India
Certifications
Gynaecomastia is a relatively common condition in which men have enlarged and prominent breasts. This can happen due to deposition of excessive fat tissue around the breasts during puberty or after excessive weight loss. Men with gynaecomastia become very self conscious about their body especially while swimming, in the gym or wearing a well fitting T-shirt. This impairs their confidence levels, self esteem and psychological well being.
Gynaecomastia can be easily corrected surgically by removing the excess fat and glandular tissue by liposuction & excision. Sometimes the overlying skin may need to be tightened as well. The surgery can be done either under local or general anaesthetic. A small incision is made in the lower half of the nipple area through which the liposuction cannula is inserted. The surgery may take 1-2 hours depending upon the amount of fat to be removed. If done under a general anaesthetic, you may need to stay in hospital for one night.
Minimally Invasive Gynaecomastia surgery
The 'Light Pull-Through Procedure' is the latest & a less invasive way of doing this surgery. In this the incision through which the fat and glandular tissue is pulled out is smaller. The advantage of this procedure is that there are less scars & post surgery no drains will have to be left. This will lead to quicker healing and minimally visible scar.
You will experience some pain, bruising and swelling in the area but it will settle in a few days. You might need to take a few days off work and avoid strenuous activities for a while. There is a very small risk of infection or scarring in the surgical area.
Your surgeon will explain the procedure in detail during the consultation.
This surgery is becoming more popular over the years as men realize the happiness and satisfaction of being at ease with their body.
